Fine Art TV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 10
Episode - 13
Filmed on Location at - Tauranga, New Zealand
Internationally acclaimed New Zealand watercolor and oil artist Susan Harrison-Tustain’s highly sought after work will take you on an artistic journey.
Her passion for painting and for natural beauty and light allows the viewers of her work to feel part of the world she has captured. A world so life-like you can ‘smell’ the perfume of the roses, see the light as it glistens through a dew-drop or feel the nostalgic atmosphere she has created in her still lifes studies of much loved, time-worn object d’art.
Susan decided after an extensive trip to Europe and its national galleries to take her work to a professional level. Her exhibitions are much awaited events and are highly successful. Queues for the exhibitions start to form several hours before opening time and continue throughout the duration of the show. Susan’s work has been on several prestigious magazine covers and within the pages of many publications. The demand for Susan’s work far outweighs her output. With this in mind she has released archival quality, signed and numbered Limited Edition Lithographs of her work and museum quality Iris Giclees of her latest paintings.
You’ll find Susan’s work represented in collections in the U.S.A., Britain, France, Italy, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. She tutors workshops in New Zealand and USA which are in great demand and are attended by artists from all over the world. Passionate about a variety of subjects, Susan particularly loves to paint child studies, figurative studies, nude, still life, bird and floral studies. Painting intuitively, she has a natural affinity for watercolor and an innate ability to captivate the viewers of her work.
Her paintings capture the very ‘essence’ of her subject and the viewers find themselves lost in the world she has created. Susan lives in the beautiful, clean, green New Zealand countryside overlooking the picturesque coastal, port towns of Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. She likes to think of art as ‘timeless’ and trusts that, through her paintings, you will also feel the ‘passion’ and revelation she felt when the inspiration for each of her paintings was born.

Thank you for all for taking the time to comment and share this link with other artists. It is my pleasure to share the hints and tips that have fast-tracked my painting journey. I am overwhelmed by the huge international response to my episode of Put Some Colour in Your Life. It has been overwhelming as well as very humbling. Thanks to the team for doing such a great job at weaving a day of filming together so seamlessly.
Susan is one of the best there is and it was our pleasure to film and spend time with such a wonderful woman and her husband Rich, Graeme
Thank you for your kind words SuperXrunner and Graeme! Being self taught has meant I have needed to discover the secrets for myself. Analyzing and subsequently understanding what it is in nature and our subjects that reaches out to us and compels us to paint, has meant I can portray the very spirit of a subject. This is what I love emphasize in my work and of course this is what I love to teach other artists. We are all on a never ending journey of discovering the joy of nature and painting! Happy painting everyone! Susan
Susan Harrison-Tustain you're a genius G x
I’m not an artist and thought watercolour a bit wishy washy. No longer do I think this, you have a very unique way of capturing the essence of your subject that pulls the viewer right into the picture
Katywu Ste watercolor is an unforgiving medium compared to acrylic and oil.
pomatolove and you are amazing at what you do with this medium
What a wonderful lady!! She is absolutely amazing!! Great video! I'll probably buy some of her books/dvds
Hi Gabs, Susan is a really wonderful and talented lady. So glad you enjoyed the episode.

Maria Kellner Hi , yes she is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
Its always great to see Susan work her magic. I just love artwork and not just her work but the person as well. She is beautiful inside and out. Her soul shows in her paintings. PS, she speaks about her supplies and tools not as a sales pitch but because they are essential to her technique and how her work is done. Its all worth hearing about.
I am so grateful that you have her in one of your episodes. Her art leaves me speechless and went very deep adding so many emotions. She is phenomenal and I would be honored to have her set of brushes, books and videos. Just breathtaking!
Thank you so much for sharing this Graeme Stevenson. I love watching your personal ones also so very much!

Thank you 'My Pretty Office' for your lovely words about my work and teachings. Yes I will be teaching two workshops in Marrochydore on the Sunshine Coast of Australia in October this year. I have two spots that have just come available: due to ill-health and a job change. If anyone wants to grab those places - be quick. It is very rare for places to come available on my workshops. Ramesh, Jean and Kate - thank you for taking the time to write your lovely comments too.
Susan Harrison-Tustain wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, Susan!
Wow Susan makes working with water colors look easy using the dabbing method! I might have to give it a try! Thank You She is Amazing!
I just ordered several items to get back with my art, now seeing Susan I have a new list going. Most definitely love her innovative technique and visiting her web site was pure delight. Looking forward to reading her book on watercolor painting, getting those brushes she uses, and ordering her dvds. Amazing artist.
Wonderful!
That mans voice though - gorgeousssss
What a great show, as always! This one was so special because of Susan and her beautiful works. Thanks so much for this wonderful show.
This is lovely and very helpful. Ive learned so much from you Susan.
Thank you everyone for your very humbling comments! It is such a pleasure to feature on Put Some Colour in Your Life and to share some of the hints and tips that have been magical breakthroughs on my painting journey in watercolor and oil painting. A wonderful day of filming condensed down to twenty four minutes is never going to be long enough of course - there is so much I could share with you! However I hope the few insights I have shared in this video will have the same huge impact on your work - as they have on mine. Thank you so much to the two real stars of the show: Graeme Stevenson (director) and Sophia Stacey who is the producer who weaves everything together so beautifully. Thank you too to Jenny, Tanita and the rest of the dream team Some of you have written and asked me about my yellow tonal map/underwash. I thought I would share this additional information here for you all to read:
AN ADDTIONAL TIP: For those who love to paint in watercolor or oil: You can see me demonstrating a yellow tonal map/underwash in this Put Some Color in Your Life video. I create this magical underwash to enable my paintings to glow with warmth in my shadow areas in particular. This yellow underwash also brings an amazing sense of substance and presence to my work. When deciding where to paint my varying strengths of yellow (my tonal map/underwash) - I am always careful to avoid the highlights - as well as any areas that will eventually be blue or purple.
REASON: The yellow tonal map/underwash can influence and dramatically change highlights as well as blue and purple - if used too strongly. Slightly too much yellow underwash can be unforgiving in these areas. Blue can become green and purple can become brown. If I need to use a tiny amount of yellow to tint my highlights or my blue and purple areas - I find I have much more control over the finished color if I add my touch of yellow to my MIX, when I am MIXING my blues or purples for my subsequent color washes. In these cases, during my yellow tonal map/underwash layers, I let those areas remain the white of the paper until I am ready to add my other colors/mixes in the subsequent layer. Have fun with my yellow tonal map. It revolutionized my paintings - I hope it does the same for you too! Happy painting everyone. Susan Harrison-Tustain.
You are not human an angle your wortk is a gift God has touched your hands thanks for allow us to see some of your amazing paintings
Wow, what an artist. Saving up for your next Aussie teaching tour after April. Your work really moved me, and after all that's what it is all about. Thank you for sharing.
+Fion RK Hi Fion
You are in luck - I have recently announced the last two workshops I will be conducting in Australia. I only have a few places left. The workshops are in May. Sadly they will be the last I will be teaching in Australia for some time as my schedule and other art related commitments mean I need a clone! So these last two workshops will be extra special. Hope you can join us. Here is the link to my workshop page for my workshop information: susanart.com/workshops-2/ It would be fun to share all I know about painting with you. Susan Harrison-Tustain.
superb.
She has the best book on watercolor painting I have and have many. I bought her book years ago I wish she would do another
Thank you. Such beautiful work. I wish the camera zoomed on more so we could see what was actually happening on the painting.
Wonderful woman, artist and lovely art! Such depth!

+Gopi Shrestha
Thanks Gopi! It is not so difficult when you know how - isn't everything like that! :0) Cheers Susan
i love your experience. i glad see you and your works.
Hello Gopi - thank you for your humbling words! I am so pleased you enjoy my work
Wow, what an amazing artist. I am particularly interested in your backgrounds. I don't seem to get the depth or variation right. Any tips please. I have purchased the colour previewers which have been a revelation. Many thanks Susan
Beautiful
Kate North
Amazing work!!!!
Thank you for your kind words Ramlep
Your attention to detail and eye for Beauty is Astounding!!
You capture Life in a way that Even God is Blown away!
A very talented artist indeed but didn't you upload this one only last week? I have definitely seen it before quite recently
david thornber Hi , yes she is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
The work is incredible, but the demo was hard to follow with all the sales pitches for the brushes. Just paint and we will find/buy your brushes. Amazing paintings, more lifelike than the real flowers!
Marie Niehaus Hi , yes she is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
Graeme Stevenson (Colour in Your Life) I have to agree with Marie Niehaus though Graeme, the episode did seem to be a sales pitch. I have been a fan of Susan's for a long time and was eagerly waiting for her segment to be televised (didn't realise it was on youtube already) and watched it last night. But was bitterly disappointed to have a fair whack of the ep taken up with the pushing of brushes and Parkers supplies. Please take on board that 23 minutes does go quick and we really want to see the artist actually painting, not have to worry about suppliers etc. I understand that you have to promote your sponsors, but we want to see the artist doing what they do best. I love Colour in your Life, but have lost it on Fox at present, seems to have been time-shifted or taken off? Don't watch much of commercial TV so only realised Susan's segment was on via her newsletter. Enjoy the show TOTALLY but please keep the sales pitches to a minimum and give us more camera angles on the actual work being done. :) Cheers.
sory too much talking
